“不到喀什，不算到新疆” meaning is “Haven’t Been to Kashgar, Haven’t Seen the Real Xinjiang”, it is the motto of Kashgar. If you come to Xinjiang but haven’t been to Kashgar, you are considered you haven’t seen the real Xinjiang. There are many reasons for this saying because Kashgar is the important hub on the Ancient Silk Road where Caraven’s Traded their exhausted cattle’s and goods at the Kashgar Market back 2000 years ago. Today Kashgar is the center of economic, political, cultural, and communication center of Southern Xinjiang. It’s like not going to the Great Wall of China while you’re in Beijing. So if you can make it to Xinjiang, try to make few days more to fly over to Kashgar and experience the hospitality of Uyghur’s. Read more »

My impressions of Kashgar are ones of awe and delight; awe at the extraordinary sights to behold across the city and delight at the warmth and friendliness of the Uyghur people.
The key sights in town include the old city, markets and the street life. Eating seems to be a major preoccupation, and much of it occurs on the edge of the busy streets and lanes. Lamb and bread are the staples; lamb is cut from the carcass and then marinated, skewered and BBQ’d all within meters of one another, and large ovens produce wonderful flat breads by the thousands. Smoke from the ovens and BBQs fill the air. Traffic wends its way noisily past the pedestrians and eateries. Read more »
